Solvatochromic nanowires self-assembled from cationic, chloro-bridged linear platinum complexes and anionic amphiphiles
A newly developed lipid-packaged one-dimensional complex of platinum shows solvatochromism in organic media. The use of anionic lipids as counter anions is indispensable for the solvent-dependent control of one-dimensional electronic states, aggregate morphology and thermal stability.
